Mirror’s Edge in development for seven years, says ex-DICE chief

Ex-DICE boss Fredrik Liliegren has said the studio’s most recent new IP, Mirror’s Edge, was in development for seven years.

Speaking with Gaming Union (via Kotaku), Liliegren said: “Knowing that product was in development for about seven years…and given that it wasn’t Mirror’s Edge when we started, but it was one team working on ‘the new IP’ for seven years, I think they did a strong final.

“They did something different that people hadn’t done before. I think it needed a second generation so they can tweak on it.”
